The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 278: The Existence of the Wildfire Gang: Time Assassins
Lower urban area.

The dark and damp outermost area, adjacent to the ravines and canyons of Zaun.

This is a forgotten corner of the world. Compared with the prosperity of the inner city of Piltover, it is full of poverty, chaos and disorder.

Even the night wind was afraid of this desolate place and did not dare to blow easily.

Deep in the dim ravine, there are strange-shaped holes, like wounds in the earth, mixed in between cracks, bottomless.

Professor Heimerdinger, wearing a cloak, stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the dark cave entrance below.

The rancid smell in the air made him a little uncomfortable.

But his gaze was firm and penetrating.

Professor Heimerdinger looked back at Piltover, who was gradually waking up, and tightened his hood to ensure that he could be better hidden in the shadow of the cloak.

Then he chose a huge dark hole and stepped inside.

Darkness surges like a tide, like a beast with a huge mouth, mercilessly swallowing up all the light
Professor Heimerdinger looked calm as he walked slowly along the rugged mountain road.

Green fireflies fell from the darkness and surrounded Professor Heimerdinger.

I saw a huge tree standing in the middle of the canyon, soaring into the sky.

"Follow me, Professor."

Until he came to a black door made of metal and stopped.

The tall figure wore a doll-like mask that covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone with cold light.

The weapons in their hands lit up with green light, like ghostly flames, pointing towards the cloaked Heimerdinger.

Inlaid with gem-like incandescent lamps, they shed soft light.

Instead, there is an unusually fresh smell, which seems to carry the fragrance and vitality of nature.

In the flowing air, there is no green haze of Zaun, nor is there the rancid smell that fills the cave.

Looking up at the building in front of him, Professor Heimerdinger's eyes flickered, his expression full of admiration.

They wear wooden masks.

Although it is far less spectacular than the giant steel door, it has a cold sense of technology and the metal lines are hard.

It is like a guardian, silently guarding the world behind it.

These masks seem to have a rather strange design, which is both a bit weird and a bit childlike.

The green canopy is lush and dense, the branches stretch out, and countless green wickers hang down.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Faced with the immediate threat, Professor Heimerdinger took off his hood, revealing a striking golden afro.

Professor Heimerdinger stepped forward, and the scene in front of him gradually broadened.

Professor Heimerdinger also saw many children playing on hoverboards near the giant tree.

Professor Heimerdinger followed the tall figure to the left side of the giant metal door.

This giant steel door and the internal structure of the mountain are almost integrated into one, as if it is a miracle created by the uncanny craftsmanship of nature and the crystallization of human technology.

A tall figure fell down, and the other figures dispersed and disappeared into the dark cave.

He was surprised to find that compared to the scenes he had seen before, this place was almost a green world.

Gradually, the roads in the cave became complicated, with endless twists and turns.

Suddenly.

Soft light shines through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadow.

What appeared in Professor Heimerdinger's field of vision was a huge canyon that was completely hollowed out, vast and deep.

The surrounding stone walls have been carefully polished to give it a steel-like texture.

Looking carefully, the so-called fireflies are clearly figures riding dark green skateboards and wearing masks.

Professor Heimerdinger seemed to be very familiar with everything here. He was very skillful in bypassing obstacles and passing through patches of darkness.

"it's me."

Professor Heimerdinger felt the darkness being quickly pulled apart like a curtain, and soft light filled his field of vision.

If someone tries to attack by force, it may cause the mountain to collapse, burying all enemies in the cave.

Here, he found a small metal door, cleverly hidden under the engraved patterns, becoming a secret passage.

The moment you pass through the metal door.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes, letting his pupils adapt to the changes in light.

After seeing it was Heimerdinger.

In a deep cave.

With the dim light, Professor Heimerdinger could clearly see that the metal door was very delicately designed.

Then, he took a deep breath and felt the air in the unfamiliar space.

Children chase each other like fireflies among the green branches and leaves, and their laughter and laughter echo in the canyon.

Professor Heimerdinger stood aside and observed the children quietly.

Their carefreeness and pure happiness were completely different from the current Piltover, making him feel relaxed and happy that he had not seen for a long time.

He even felt much younger.

"Hey Professor, long time no see."

Behind Professor Heimerdinger, a punk youth with black skin and white hair walked over.

A layer of white mark is applied to his face, which is clearly distinguishable from the black skin, adding a unique personality.

There is a bright red scarf around his neck, and a black metal earphone is decorated on the outside.

As he walked, his white braided hair swayed slightly.

"Ike, long time no see!"

Professor Heimerdinger looked at the young man in front of him, smiled and said hello.

Everything in the canyon in front of you is Ike's creation. In a short life, such a majestic invention was completed.

Although its existence is dependent on Piltover and Zaun, it is also an enviable paradise.

Ike took Professor Heimerdinger to the crown of the giant tree.

It seems like a small world suspended in the air.

The wooden fence cleverly wraps around the branches, providing a safe place for the two to stand.

The breeze blew gently, bringing fresh air and the rustling of leaves.

Shared by Professor Heimerdinger.

Ekko also gradually understood the recent major events in Piltover and Zaun.

"I didn't expect that the Eye of Zuan would actually come back to life. In that case, the information collected before can be matched."

He looked at the leisurely crowd gathered below, lowered his eyes and immersed himself in the world he created.

"During the time when Silko and the Eye of Zaun ruled Zaun, most of the people in the Undercity were infected with the Glimmer."

"He doesn't care at all about the harm that low light can do to the human body."

"Ordinary people in Zaun at that time were either addicted or died."

Heimerdinger overlooks the canyon, a magnificent scenery created by the combination of technology and nature.

"So, you created this paradise and left a spark of hope in Zaun."

"No, it's not just me."

Ike smiled and shook his head, pointing to everyone in the canyon: "It's the result of our joint efforts."

The two continued to talk softly, each other's conversation filled with respect and appreciation.

They not only exchange ideas about invention and creation, but also share their understanding of life and the world.

Ike lowered his eyes and looked at the old pocket watch in his hand.

Then he raised his head, met Professor Heimerdinger's eyes, and asked softly.

"Tell me, Professor, is there anything you need my help with?"

When Professor Heimerdinger heard this, hesitation appeared on his plush face, thinking about how to speak so that Ike could better understand his request.

Finally, he spoke up.

"Ike, I need you to get to Stillwater Prison."

After hearing this request, Ike did not show a surprised expression, but showed calmness and concentration.

Because he understood that Professor Heimerdinger would not make such a request easily. Since he made it, it must be for a very important reason.

"Stillwater Prison. I've heard of it." Ike whispered.

"It's a place where many dangerous criminals are imprisoned. Professor, what do you need me to do?"

"Stillwater Prison may be a secret experimental base for the forces behind the Eye of Zaun." Professor Heimerdinger whispered in a low voice.

"I need you to use your time ability to sneak into the prison and explore the situation inside."

"If possible, it would be best to bring out the secrets inside."

After hearing this, Ike shrugged his shoulders and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"I understand, Professor, leave it to me."

He turned and walked to the edge of the fence, let out a breath, and roared loudly.

"Wildfire Gang!"

Ike's voice echoed above the treetops, seeming to awaken the power in the canyon.

In an instant!
Many responses came from all directions.

I saw green fireflies crossing the leaves and falling one after another.

They surrounded Ike with brilliant light.

The rays of the morning sun were like paint, gradually dyeing the sky red.

Professor Heimerdinger ended his meeting with Ike and returned to the upper town of Piltover.

Along the way, he witnessed the bustling scenes in the atmosphere of Evolution Day.

The streets are bustling with people, and various strange inventions and machines show their charm in the hands of inventors.

Professor Heimerdinger stopped in front of the Piltover Parliament.

He took off his cloak, straightened his appearance, and entered the parliament.

As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Huo Jixing, who had arrived early, looking at him with a smile.

Professor Heimerdinger smiled back, but he couldn't help but think of yesterday's research results with Jess.

When something that has never been touched appears in front of you, no one can remain indifferent.

The metal parts of the Source Project warriors are like this for inventors.

Push open the heavy door.

Professor Heimerdinger entered the parliament hall and found that the members were gathering in twos and threes.

They were standing or sitting, chatting one after another, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed.

There's no hint that they were affected by the events of the Eye of Zaun and Stillwater Prison.

Professor Heimerdinger suppressed his inner emotions and walked to his seat.

As he walked to his seat, he nodded to the lawmakers and captured some key words from their conversations.

Words such as the Eye of Zaun, Stillwater Prison, and technological power frequently appeared in their conversations.

These contents made Professor Heimerdinger feel slightly better.

Seeing Professor Heimerdinger and Huo Jixing entering the hall, the members present also realized that the meeting was about to begin.
